Our board and trains are a completely immersive experience for the dogs who come into our care. We are not a facility, all board and train dogs live in the Trainers’ home as one of their pack.
They are safely crated when unsupervised indoors, with monitoring. Dogs go on leashed walks at least twice a day (weather permitting), and getting several long structured obedience lessons as well as daily manners throughout the day. This also includes structured, heavily supervised, time with other dogs for play and neutrality work. This training style allows dogs to be learning their boundaries, manners, obedience and impulse control during their entire stay for training.
Every Board & Train program includes a take home package with goodies specific to help continue training at home which may include any training tools that may be needed to set owners and dogs up for success after their program. Each program also includes a 1-2 hour take home session with the owners to go over everything the dog has learned, to troubleshoot any issues that may arise once the dog is back in their home, and to make sure the training is transferable to the owner. After each program we include at least one 1-2 hour follow up session two weeks after drop off to ensure the dog and their family have success with their training.
Some examples of items that have been in various take home kit include but is not limited to: a clicker, size appropriate pet cot, bag of treats, slip leads, snuffle mats, slow feeders, special chew items, and training collars. No take home kit is the same as every kit is made to help set the specific dog up for success.
We want you and your dog to succeed!
In order to ensure that, we also offer special options for all Board & Train graduates that are only available to our graduates!
This includes various continuing education options, tune ups and more!
